Passing multidimensional array via function template

I am trying to pass a multidimensional array into a function. The array looks something like this:

const char CHECKERS_ANIMATION[][8] = {
    {0xcc,0xcc,0x33,0x33,0xcc,0xcc,0x33,0x33},
    {0x33,0x33,0xcc,0xcc,0x33,0x33,0xcc,0xcc}
};

I have bunch of these arrays. They are all Nx8 where N is known at compile time.

In my class header file I have a public method defined as such:

template <typename T, size_t frames, size_t rows> void playAnimation(int device_number, const T (&animation)[frames][rows], int iterations = 1, int speed = 50000);

The implementation of this method:

template <typename T, size_t frames, size_t rows> void LEDMatrix::playAnimation(int device_number, const T (&animation)[frames][rows], int iterations, int speed)
{
cout << "r: " << rows << ", f: " << frames << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < iterations; i++) {
    for (int j = 0; j < frames; j++) {
        for (int k = 0; k < rows; k++) {
            putRow(device_number, k, animation[j][k]);
        }

        usleep(speed);
        clearDisplay(device_number);
    }
}
}

The method is called as such:

obj->playAnimation(0, CHECKERS_ANIMATION);

I picked this approach, because I need to know the NxM size of the array inside the method.

When I compile this I get the following error:

/tmp/ccMH2CBE.o: In function `main':
test.cpp:(.text.startup+0x44): undefined reference to `void LEDMatrix::playAnimation<char, 13u, 8u>(int, char const (&) [13u][8u], int, int)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

How can I resolve this? I have already killed two days trying to solve what I think is a simple problem.

Thank you.
